Vista and Graphics - Is Matrox really that good for text? - Please enlighten me
"John Smith" wrote in message . ..
I have been using Matrox cards since the early 1990s. My sole reason is their superlative text quality. I just built a new PC based on the PCI-e spec running Windows Vista. I have Vista Enterprise thru my company. Because I wanted to run the Vista Aero color scheme, I opted for a card that has 256 mb of memory - an excellent card from Gigabyte that uses the NVidia 7600GT engine - GIGA N 7600GT GV-NX76T256D-RH R I can only say that compared w/my Matrox 650 and before that 550 and before that 450 and before that the Mystique, the text on this card is blurry. Its not even close. The only way is was even marginally acceptable was to turn on cleartype which I have always disliked. I just don't get it especially since the Matrix 650 PCIe card w/128mb is based on the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT chipset (according to CNet). What monitor are you using, and at what resolutions/refresh rates? |
